Approximately 40 employers and seven graduate schools will be represented at the fall Career Fair at the University of Nebraska at Kearney on Thursday, Oct. 6.
The Career Fair, which is open to the general public, as well as to UNK students and alumni, gives attendees the opportunity to meet and talk with potential future employers. There is no fee to attend.
The event, sponsored by UNK Academic and Career Services, Northwestern Mutual Financial Network and Werner Enterprises, will be held from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. in the Nebraskan Student Union Ponderosa Room.
Attendees may email their resume to Joni Weed, UNK Career Services, to be reviewed before the fair.
A pre-fair reception will be held at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 5, at the Alumni House, located at 2222 Ninth Ave. Attendees will have an opportunity to network with potential employers during the reception. Business casual attire is recommended. Pre-registration at careerserv@unk.edu is required for this event.
Students not currently seeking employment may volunteer to assist with fair. As volunteers, students network with potential future employers from various fields, have a chance to observe employers and candidates, learn how a career fair works and can add the volunteer work to their resume.
